Bačík was elected chairman of the board of trustees of the FNM in October 2010 and replaces Anna Bubení-ková as its new head.

Bubeníková was sacked by the Radičová cabinet on January 11 this year based on revelations in the so-called Gorilla file, an unverified intelligence report including purported transcripts of covertly recorded conversations between senior officials, including Bubeníková, and leading businesspeople that suggest corrupt activity. She denies accepting bribes.

After the Agriculture Ministry lifted its embargo, it turned out that the companies of Italians suspected of ties with ’Ndrangheta received subsidies worth millions of euros, through the Agricultural Paying Agency.
